Scam Alert: If Someone Near You Finds A Wallet With $150k, Start Running

What happened to a Wisconsin woman after someone near her seemingly found a wallet with $150,000 in it last year ought to be a warning to everyone that some things are too good to be true.

In this case, it’s how the Wisconsin woman became a victim.

According to Milwaukee station WITI, the victim had been walking through a parking lot last September when another woman called out to her to ask her whether she had dropped something. Apparently, the other woman had found a wallet and was trying to locate its owner.

“It was brown and it almost looked like the size of a brick,” the victim recalled.

The two then called over a third woman to also examine the wallet. Since none of them was the original owner, they decided to go ahead and split the money.

“Well, finders keepers then, huh?” the victim told WITI.

The woman who found the wallet then claimed she worked at a real estate office — First Weber Realty — and that her boss could help them both count the money and draw up the paperwork required for them to take legal ownership of the cash.

All three then reportedly drive to the real estate office, where she went inside for a bit and then returned with shocking news.

“That there was $150,000 in cash in the wallet,” the victim recalled.

So far so good, right? Here’s where the scam started to really take hold.

The victim said that according to the woman who went inside, all three ladies would need to withdraw some cash from their bank accounts “to prove they were financially responsible,” as reported by WITI.

So they then drove to the victim’s credit union, where the victim withdraw $2,000 in cash, and returned to First Weber Realty, where the other two women went inside one at a time to apparently prove their financial responsibility to First Weber Realty’s manager.

When it was the victim’s turn, however, it began to dawn on her that something was wrong.

“Inside First Weber, no one knew what she was talking about,” reported WITI. “Meanwhile, the car and the other two women disappeared, along with her $2,000.”
